2026 World Cup: Valuable points for Egypt and Saudi Arabia

As part of the World Cup matches that opened in June 2026, the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian national teams recorded significant achievements in their first games. dya_bamakhrama reports that both teams achieved draws against strong rivals – Egypt against Belgium and Saudi Arabia against Uruguay.

According to dya_bamakhrama, the achievement is largely credited to the goalkeepers Shobier (Egypt) and Al-Owais (Saudi Arabia), who demonstrated exceptional ability and played a "prominent role in maintaining the result and accumulating a valuable point for each team."

At the same time, social media networks note the ongoing sporting rivalry of Egypt against the Belgian national team. adhamghonem1 describes the Egyptians as "the constant nightmare of the Red Devils" (the nickname of the Belgian national team), and notes that in the statistics of the last five meetings between the two, the Belgian team has managed to overcome the Egyptians only once.
